42nd Street (Touring)

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as "We're In The Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," "Dames," "I Only Have Eyes For You" and of course "42nd Street."Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley's 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady.  When the leading lady breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star.  With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren, and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production is directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

First time at Fox Theatre for a Broadway play. What a great afternoon. The chorographic director did an outstanding job. The acting, singing and dancing were phenomenal. We had great seats and the price was worth it. Could not ask for a better way to spend a Sunday.

42nd street was such a great musical. A lot of tap dancing and singing.. Very enjoyable, I would definitely go to this again. If I went again I would want to be closer in the balcony or on the floor.

While 42nd Street had a great cast filled with an amazing amount of talent, the show needs to be updated for the times. I found the story line simple and a bit boring. Singing and dancing by all cast members very good. Great costumes. Would like to have seen more of the finale put into the show.

This production was "okay". The talent was there and of course the choreography of the wonderful Gower Champion, plus the great music was fun, but I didn't like the story, it was a weak, silly, plot that has been done over and over, the unknown girl plucked from the chorus line to replace the stuck-up DIVA who gets injured or sick. It didn't have a good love story or any kind of tension between characters. We also thought this particular production company was a little worn out looking, sets, costumes were just drab and could have been a little flashier to go with the upbeat music. I know it was a sound stage for rehearsals most of the time, but it could have had more in between or something to make it seem like a bigger production.

- - - we would have liked to heard it without distraction. An annoying woman sitting right behind us hummed and sang softly every song, distracting us from the cast performance. We paid money to hear the performers, not an amateur audience member! The dancing was OUTSTANDING. Without this distraction, we would have given an overall rating of 5 Stars.

A very well done performance of a great classic show. The production values were very high and a talented cast brings it. The costumes were beautiful, well designed and appropriate. The orchestra was spot on. But it's the dancing that stands out above everything, and boy can these people hoof! Full on tap routines lasting up to 4 minutes done with precision and grace. Such a treat to see talented people doing what they do best. All in all a great night of entertainment at the theatre. Bravo!

This play sure does have great tap dancing and music throughout the entire play. Some of the songs kept going through our heads long after the play was over and we were home....very catchy tunes. And the dancing! Oh, gosh. This is an excellent play to take children to that are taking tap lessons. It would certainly inspire them. I go to the theater often and have seen many musical plays and this one has to be in my list of the top three.

My Husband and I attended the 2 o'clock performance, the show was wonderful, the dancing energetic, flawless and so much fun to watch. My husband is quite accomplished in the tap dancing field (albeit a little less active in it since he hit his 70ies). He was like a kid in a candy shop watching the excellent dancing, his heart was right up there with each of the dancers, go it you can totally worth the ticket price!

I didn't really know what I committed to, and I almost had to 'drag' my husband. However, I was completely surprised by such an amazing show and so much beauty, professionalism and perfection of the whole troop. The first Act was a bit too long, but I guess there was not enough dancing/tapping to my taste. The second Act was stunning: perfection, synchronization and amazing legs!!! My husband thanked me for having dragged him there. I would see the same show again and again!! Thank you thank you for bringing such quality to our TN theater.

I bought tickets to the Saturday matinee performance for my granddaughter's 9th birthday. She loves singing and dancing and would have been thoroughly entertained without the story or without the incredible old theater. Coupled with the amazing performances and the exciting ambiance, her first time experience could not have been better. I gave her a synopsis of the story and some background on the beautiful Tennessee Theater which helped her to appreciate it even more.The whole afternoon was a memory maker which is what I was going for with my granddaughter.

Loved, loved, loved it. Great musical numbers. The dancing was great. How can you not like tap dancing. Didn't realize some of the songs I had heard growing up were from this musical. I went with my 27 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it. Did the time step all the way to the car. The singers were out of this world too.
